Marvel president and actors react to Stan Lee’s death

The Avengers, Spider-Man, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, the X-Men… Stan Lee was more than just a comic book writer – he was a bona fide legend who is responsible who creating some of the world’s most recognisable pop culture icons.

Many of his creations were first spread through comic books, and through movies, specifically those in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that characters he created, like Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, and Hulk, spread into the mainstream conciousness.

Here are some of the reactions from Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Fiege and some of the actors who played characters he created (and some he did not, but helped make popular):

Kevin Fiege, Marvel Studios president

No one has had more of an impact on my career and everything we do at Marvel Studios than Stan Lee. Stan leaves an extraordinary legacy that will outlive us all. Our thoughts are with his daughter, his family, and his millions of fans. #ThankYouStan#Excelsior!

Chris Evans (Captain America)

There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!

Evangeline Lily (The Wasp)

Stan…more than a master of stories, you always seemed like a master of living. I will look to you for inspiration for the rest of my life. You live on. xoxo Your Wasp

We’ve lost a creative genius. Stan Lee was a pioneering force in the superhero universe. I’m proud to have been a small part of his legacy and …. to have helped bring one of his characters to life. #StanLee#Wolverinepic.twitter.com/SQMlGvrCv5

Stan Lee was my inspiration to do things that others thought was impossible. Now that he is gone I don’t know how to cope with the emotion that has overwhelmed me. He died November 12th. I didn’t find out till November 14th. I feel that we will never find a more creative mind then Stan Lee’s. R.I.P. Stan Lee, the man who has lived one amazing, accomplished, well-lived life. You will be missed by family, friends, and the millions of fans you have including me.

Stan, I today felt your presence and help while working on this thing for school. I was looking for a quote, and yours jumped out. I went looking for logos of your characters to decorate it with. The right ones popped out. You are so missed, and I hope heaven is a place where you can continue to do things you loved. Maybe you are doing cameos. Maybe you are aiding with the filming of a new movie. All I know is, that I thank you so much. You have brought such amazing characters into my life. My dad knows how much I love strong female characters, and science fiction, so he showed my YOUR stuff. He handed me comic books, and we watched all of the movies together. Thank you Stan, and rest in peace.
